The English have the privilege of being the reference in gardening (if not in cooking). Promesses de Fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its soon-to-be tricentennial steel manufacturing methods. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, starting with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly outpaced that of sheep shears, but the stainless steel tools by Burgon & Ball are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate reward in the gardening industry.

The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chromium to prevent the appearance of rust. It's a very precise balance that needs to be found between chromium and carbon, different for each part of the tool. For example, the socket, which needs to be strong enough to resist bending, is made of thicker steel with a medium balance between chromium and carbon, while the tines of this cultivator, which require significant strength and hardness to withstand flexing in the soil, are made with a higher carbon content than chromium.


The heat treatment allows for achieving exactly the right hardness for each tool. Too hard and the metal can break or chip, not hard enough and it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used is also dependent on the tool. This cultivator needs a thicker steel thickness than a knife, which can be much thinner steel. The thickness of the steel also affects the weight, so it's a balance that the company Burgon & Ball, with its soon-to-be 300 years of experience, has validated to ensure that its tools are both effective and enjoyable to use.

Directions for use This 3-tine hand cultivator is easy to use and suitable for raised gardens and narrower spaces or for raised beds. It is used by making digging and scratching motions. It is perfect for loosening the soil by breaking up the dry and hard crust, in not too heavy soils. This allows for better water and air circulation in the soil around the roots, essential for the proper development of plants. It can also be used to dig holes or furrows for planting bulbs, seeds, or small clumps of perennials or bushes. Its narrow head allows for easy weeding between clumps of plants. Indeed, its 3 curved and pointed tines, in the shape of claws, dig around unwanted herbaceous plants and easily pull out their clumps. To maintain the beautiful appearance of your tool, we recommend cleaning it with a stiff brush after each use and storing it away from moisture. The leather cord that comes with the handle will allow you to store it in a protected place and keep your tool for a long time, even though it is guaranteed for life by Burgon & Ball!
